l have illustrated my invention applied to a- Smith Premier typewritingmachine and while the invention 'may be applied to said machine Withoutchanging any of the structural features thereof, it should he understoodthat the invention may be applied to other characters of writingmachines.

The frame of the machine comprises a base portion A with upwardly.projecting corner posts B that support a top plate Q, which in turnsupports a traveling carriage ll); thus the carriage is provided withguide rails a that. receive `antifriction halls which i are likewisereceived in grooves in the fixed rails c supported upon vthe top plateC. The platen d is'supportedin the carriage and adapted to be turned toexpose the last written line and. the rear of the carriage framesupports la feed rack e which extends longitudinally. of the carriage,and feed dogs f and g cooperate therewith, the feed do g being securedte a rock shaft L mounte in a hearing z' secured to the top plate C.The4 rock shaft has a crank arm y secured thereto and the free end ofthe crank 'arm is pivoted through an opening in the top-plate and isconnected at its lower end to one arm 0f the hell crank lever Z pivote'dto the base A. of the machine, and which has its other arm pivoted at mto a frame n which constitutes a universal bar or frame that is adaptedto vibrate transversely of the machine and is actuated by studs or pinso, one rejecting from each of the roel; shafts j) o the type actions, sothat each time a linger key Fis depressed, it will, through theintermediate to a depending link or rod 7c which extends .f

crank arm g, cause the associated rock shaft.

to be rocked against the tension of its spring' r, thus moving the frameor har u to eectv a movement of the feed dog g through the intermediateconnectionsv .between the uni- The feed dog g has a nger that is adaptedto hear against the free end of a set screw t carried by 'the pivotedfeed dogf' and extending through a threaded opening therein to elevatethe nose thereof and throw it cui of en- 'gageinentwith the rack e whenthe feed dog g is moved down into the path of an oncoming tooth of thefeed rack, and thus adord riag'e. the usual manner by a band to thecarriage ,to/effect a movement of the carriage when the escapementmechanism is actuated, the osition of the carriage vrelative totheprinting point being indicated by the usual can,

riage scale H which is secured to the front of the carriage andcoperaties with a fixed" pointer z. Each rock shaft p carries a secondcrank 'arm u which is connected to a link u that in turn is connected toa crank arm w on a rock shaft which has a type bar y rigidly securedthereto, so that ordinarily at each actuation of anger key, theassociated type bar will be ,moved to the printing point and thecarriage will be fed The forward face of the T-bar is. provided a letterspace distance.

. So .much of the machine as has thus far Abeen described yconstitutesportions of the Well-known Smith Premier typewriting .Ina-v chine andfurther description thereof is"considered unnecessary.

Extending transversely across the front of the machine and beneath thetop plate C, is a bail or framel which is'.v bifurcated at its.

ends for coperation with corner-posts B at jopposite sides of themachine and which is removably secured thereto by set screws 2. A recessor depressed guiding -portion 3 .is

located centrally and transversely of the frame oryoke 1 and extendsbeyondthe forward face of the `top plate. This yoke is likewise providedwith a depending portion 4 in which the recess is formed and whichis'slotted at 5 for the reception of headed yscrews' 6, the stems ofwhich project through the openings and take in threaded openings in avertically movable bar 7 which is pro- Videdwithan anti-friction roller8 at the lower end thereof, suitable washers 9 being i interposedbetween the outer face of the tension of thespring 13 istheretore eX-,

frame 1 and the heads of the screws 6. 'The upper end of the bar 7 isbent toward the rear of the machine, as indicated in Fig. 2, and isprovided with a tabulatinfr stop which, in the present instance,consists of a block 10 that has a series of abutments oi"-*denominational ystop faces. 11, ten being shown, and the r,lowest ofthese stops being on .the riglit-hand side thereof. An expannsi-on sprin`1,2 is contained within a cut-out 0r recesse `portion 13 in the bar andbears against the lower wall 1 1 thereof, whereas theupper end of thespring bears against a pin l5 .secured to the frame l and project'-4`ing rearwardly therefrom: A pin 1G projects upwardly from tbelower wall14 of the apertured portion and is cont ained within l*the coiled springto prevent a lateral di`s` placement ofthe spring from itsrecess.

any desired number of column stops may be employed without renderin themounting or-removal .of "the stops a diicult task and without anyliability of the stops being accidentally displaced from the bar as issometimes the ease when stops are employed which must be detached'in-order to. beadjusted. Each stop 23 is provided with a pointer 24that extends toward and is adapted to coperate with the carria e scale Hto afford a'\proper positionin oit e stops with I reference thereto, andeac stop has a latch or catch 25 pivoted thereto at 26, the handle orfinger-piece 2T extending forwardly throughl a slotted portion 28 inthe. stop.

Situated beneath the keyboard ot the niarhine and preferably back of thesecond bank or row otl keys l". is a swinging carrier comprising' aplate or bar 32 which is pivoted tothe base at 32'* to swing at its freeedge fore and att. of the machine. 'This bar or plate extendstransversely acrossthe'niachine from side to side thereof and isprovided near the lower edge thereof with laterally projectingr Stops orpins 33, each of said pins benneI provided to coperate with a crank armt] of an associated finger key it, the .various pins cooperating withthe crank arms of the keys in the .saine bank or row. "lhus forinstance, it' the machine' is to be constructed so that ten differentdenominational positions man be secured by an aetnation ot the tabu..ing devices, then ten pins 33 will be employed, as represented in Fig.1l. The relative disposition of parts is such that when the plate isswung; toward the t'ront of the machine on its pivots 32X, the variouspine 33 will be projected beneath ten et the crank armsf/ in the secondrow of linger keys F and will arresty the downward movement of said keysbefore the type bars can be moved to the print-ing' pointv and noimprint et' the characters can take place by a depression ot any of theten linger keys ot this row when the pins are projected forwardlybeneath the @rank arms in the inan-v ner described.

The arias Bil are projected through openingsl 3T in thefrontbar of a rectangular traine 238, which may be termed a tabulation'traine and is supported at its troutv end by the springs 3b. This trarnehas pivots 3i) at the endsthereot' which are y'received in elongatedpivotal bearings l0 secured to the side plates ot' the machine. Thetraine 3S beingk mounted, in the manner described, in the bearings fit).adapted to swing on the pivots 39 or to more bodily'on the bearings toreand att, oi the machine; as will hereinafter inore Clearly appear.rl`lie forward erosie-bar -ll l of the traine 38 is provided with aseriesl right to lett, as indicated in Fig. l.

The frame 38 likewise provided with a centrally disposed' rearwardly extending arm 43 which extendsbeneath the antifretion roller 8 of the bar 7, as represented in Fig. 2.Located on the rear cross-bar 44 of the frame 38 and adjacent to lthearm 43 is a ea-ni d5 (Fig. 2) which bears upon the upper side of a leverL74l-G pivoted at 4T and having' its rearwardly extending end pivoted'at 48 to an upwardly extendingr arni 4S) that ext-ends through the topplate`(` ot the machine and is bent 'forwardly atits upper end and has ahole in the horizontally extending portion for the rereptiou ot the stemof the headed screw that is carried by the feed dog f', as liereinbeioredescribed. It will be understood. therefore., that-when the forward endof the lever ile is depressed, the arm or rod 49 will be elevated,thereby carrying the feed dog j", which nornially en; gages the feedrack c, out ot' engagement with the rack to permit a :tree rnnpt' thecarriage.

Upon reference to Figs. ll, l2 and 13, it will be seen that thetransvereely extending plate 32 is cut'. away at .'30 and is providedwith bearing ears 51 that receive the pivots 52 of a hinged shutter orplate 53, the latter having an upwardly extending wing 54 which isadapted to bear against the tace of the plate 32 when the parts are inthe nornial position and the shutter 53 is in alinenient with the plateor bar 32, as represented in full lines in Fig. l1. The extension orwing 5l therefore constitutes a Stop that limits the movement ot' theshutter 53 in one direction relative to the bar or plate 32 and thisnormal disposition oiE the parts is niaintained by a spring 55, the freeend of which bears upon the extension 5l, whereas the opposite end ofthe spring is secured by a srrew 5G to the depending portion 5T ot oneot' the rover plates of the keyboard otl the n'iaehiue.l The .shutter 53is tapped'at 5S to receive a set screw 59, the stein of which passesthrough the shutter and constitutes a stop which is adapted to bear uponthe depending plate 6() otono of the cover plates for the keyboard,vasrepresented in Fig. il.

Y' 4o the tenslon of the sprmgs 36 to roctk thev The shutter 53 likewisehas 4an elon ated l opening 61 through which is projecte forwardlyextending stem 62 of a pushkey the 63g a nut or abutment 64 being heldon the threaded portion of said stem to each ,side

-of theshutter o3, so that a movement of the push key toward the rear'ofthe machine will cause the .shutter to turn on the set screw 59 as apivot, thereby `deflecting the upper end of said shutter toward,y thefront and the lower end vthereof ot the machine,

The effect toward the rear-of the machine.

of this movement is to swing the plate 32 on its pivotal centerso thatthe lower" end or edge thereof will be,moved toward' the front of themachine, as .represented in dottedflines in Fig. 11 and in full lines inF ig.

the pins 42 carried-by the frame are brought beneath the ten center keystemsof the sec `lines in Fig` 11. At this of they operator ismaintained ond vrow or bank, as represented in dotted time, and as longas the finger on the ush key 63, the tabulating mechanism wil be throwninto operative connection v with the finger keys to a position where theten center finger keys in the second row are 'in -cooperative relationwith the 'tabulating mechanism. A depression of any of these keys atthis time will bring its key stem F into contact with the associated pin42 on the front bar frame 3S, therebypressi'ng said bar avainst framelon its pivots '39. This movement of the frame results in elevatlng thedenominational stop block l0 to a position where the stop or face 11,corresponding to the key actuated, will be brought into the, path ofpawl f will rengage the abutment-31h11 a coperatin column 'stop 23. Thesame movement oft ,e frame is effective to rock the caml #l5 and therebyeliect a movementof the leyer 46 which re sults in lifting therod 49 torelease the fee/d dog 'f from an engagement with the'feed rack. ThisIwill result in the carriage be'- ing released from its esca pementmechanism and it will be moved to the 'left under the vaction ofthespring drum until itis arrested by the proper denominational stop 11which has been inte d in the path:- of one of the column 1 s on thecarriage, When' the carriage? i )een arrested in 'the manner lindicated,t ie key 63 is' released, the

the Jfeed rack, the dethe.v ten key stems with .which they cooperate andthese, aswell as the other character keys, may be actua-ted manner.

It will be understood that the parts are so timedthat the denominationalstop will be interposed in the path `of a stop on the carriage at orafterl the time the feed dog is automatically released from the feedrack. When the push,l key 63 has been moved to- Wardthe rear of themachine and the second row of ordinary character keys voperativelyconnected to the tabulating mechanism, in the manner described, the.type bars are pre- 'vented from reaching the printing point when saidkeys are depressed to actuate the tabulatin'gr mechanism, by the pins 33which are automatically interposed in the crank arms g of said keys andthus pre venta lfull depressionthereof and a comlete Writing movement ofeach of these e s. i

't will be understood that the different hei hts of the pins 42 on theframe 38 affor *er different extent of rocking or swinging movement ofthe frame for each of the ten keys that are adapted yto be employedfortabulating purposes. Thus upon reference to Fi 4, it will be observedthat the ten center eysof the second row are adapted to afford tendenominational positions of the carriage, theA ositions of the columns-'beingdetermined y vthe setting of the column vstops on the carriage.These ten center keys are numbered from l to 10 in addition to theindices thereon which designate the characters may be employedin theordinary printing operation. The machine being a double keyboardmachine, only these ten keys are each thereon tin ishable from otherkeys on which only a sin le charactei` or index is provided on each ey.The numeral l on the rightf `hand key will indicate the first positionin the denominational series which corresponds "to the decimal poi-nt;the ,2 will designate the second position which corres onds totens; the3 on the third key Wil desto hundreds;the 4 on the fourth key willindicate the thousands position, and lso on. Y

Itwill be understood from the foregoing description that the frame 3251s movable in two directions; that is to say, to be'moved bodily ,foreand aft of the machine to interpose the stops or vpins 42 thereon in thepath of the associated finger keysor the stems thereof and that a deression of the associated character keys a ords la swingingV orIrockingmovement of said frame which is entirely-independent of the lbodily movement thereof fore and aft of to Write in the ordinary thepath of for which said keys provided with twov indices or characters andthereforethey are readily disignate thethird position which correspondsit is adapted the machine; and that the bodily ore and aft movement ofthe frame merely 'affords a change in the relative position hetween thei depression of the ten keys which are adapted to be employed fortabulating purposes are entirely vindependent of the frame 3S and theswinging action thereof, notwithstanding the tact that `the movement otthe stops into operative, position is efi'ective to slide the frameASSto a position where it may be actuated on the depression ot' any ot thetelrfinger keys mentioned. The righthand finger key of the ten employedfor-tahulating purposes, beingl intended to secure the first positionor4 that corresponding to the decimall point, ycooperates with theshortest pin 42 so that the slightest extent of depression or swinginginfnfement of the frame is brought about through the actuation of thiskey; Whereas the highest .denominational position isV secured by the keyhearingthe numeral 10"7 and this key cooperates with the longest pin 42so that the .greatest extent of depression or swinging movement of thcframe is secured by an actuation of this key, and its movement bringsthe lowermost stop face l1 upon the graduated stop l0 into the path ofthe cooperating tabula'ting stop on the carriage and thus arrests thecarriage in a position for writing' the highest denominational positionwhich may bc secured by said keys. lVhile ten keys have heen shown forcoperation with the tahulating mechanism, it is obvious that anysuitable number of Akeys may he employed for this purpose. 1 eight keys.for instance, he employed, eight pins 42 and eight pins 33 will be used,so that the renniining keys cannot he employed lor tahulating purposes.y

It will be observed that the hat' 41 is a bar that is adapted toreceive'movement in two directions 'transverse to the length thereof andthat. the movement of the bar in one direction is ett' ctiv..- to moveit into and ont of coperative relation with the finger keys,

of my invention may be applied to the Well- .known Smith Premiertypewriting machine without changing or modifying the structuralfeatures of said machine and that a simple, cheapand 'efficienttabnlating mechanism is provided.

Various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit ofmy invention and certain features thereof may be employed without theothers.

From certain aspects of the invention the denominational stop block maybe rewarded as a stop having a series of step )et abutments to arrestthe carriage at di ei'ent denominational positions and from certainother aspects of the invention, the abntments may be regarded merely asa set of denominational stops. Then again, from certain aspects of theinvention, the tabnlating` mechanism may be regarded broadly as such,whether or not the proper denominational position he secured by its use.

iV hat I claim as new and desire. to secure by Letters Patent, iszl. lna typewriting machine, the combirock shafts for actuating said printingmechanism, a series of finger keys for moving said rock shafts,tabalating mechanisnnand means for shifting the tabulating mechanfingerkeys, a shifted part of said tabulating mechanism beingmoved into thepaths of depression of said finger keys so as to be directly actuated bysaid finger keys.
